Christmas Fever!

We are just days away from Christmas! I can't believe it's already here. Justin and I (Well really just me but I thought I would include him :) did a great job with preparing for Christmas this year. I started shopping in July and was done very early! Christmas had been wrapped for a couple months and stuffed in an extra closet until the tree was up and ready for them. I love this time of year, despite the weather that it can bring with it. I love getting to spend so m uch time with our families and all the delicious food! We have a busy but fun-filled weekend, that's for sure!

Friday Justin and I are hosting our 2nd annual Christmas dinner for our parents and grandparents. I am really looking forward to it! I make the ham, rolls, and 1 side and ask everyone else to bring a side of their choice as well. I am so glad we are able to do this!

Saturday really isn't so busy other than just the anxiousness of Christmas being the next day! We don't have too many plans for the day other than our family dinner and Christmas at Justin's grandparent's house- the Hathorn's. Here we all bring some type of food, whatever we want, and all the aunts, uncles, and cousins get together--(at least all the one's that still live here ;) We each bring a gift for the same gender and we have a gift swap between the men and also between the women! It is really fun. And saves everyone lots of money rather than drawing for names!

Now onto Sunday!! Busy day! Justin and I will get to spend our first Christmas together as a married couple! I am so excited for this. We are going to wake up, probably have some sort of breakfast and open up our gifts to each other! I can't wait! Afterwards, we will head over the Justin's other grandparent's house for lunch and Christmas with them. Once we're finished there we will head down the road to Justin's parent's and have our Christmas just between the 4 of us. Sunday evening we will then go to my parent's house for dinner and Christmas with them! Shew! It is such a fun day with so much family! And luckily we are off on Monday so we can recooperate from the crazy weekend and get all our goodies put away and the messes cleaned up!

I hope you all have an incredible Christ filled Christmas and enjoy lots of family time! What are some of your Christmas plans?!
